Help:Editing Guidelines

The following guidelines should be followed whenever editing or creating a page. They're intended to allow the Wiki to maintain a consistent style of formatting on similar pages (ships, weapons, systems, etc.). More guidelines will be added later.

The ship info template should be filled out and added to every ship page. It allows for a quick display of basic ship information such as their value, mass, and their hyperspace capability. This template will automatically be positioned on the right side of the page, and will automatically add the ship's page to the ships category.

After the info template, the first thing that should be added is the in-game description of the ship. This can be found by going to a shipyard and looking at the description of a specific model of ship. The quote template should be used, with the author being listed at "In-game description".

Default performance of the ship should be listed here. This should include the ship's mass, jump range, power usage, and cargo capacity.
The following example was pulled from the Sidewinder Mk. I page.

This section is intended to provide a general list of locations where the ship in question can be purchased. Ideally each ship page would have at least 10-15 purchase locations, however there is no limit to the amount that can be listed. The ship locations template should be used for this section.

This section should include a fairly detailed overview of the mechanics involved in using the equipment in question (Examples would be how to scoop fuel on the Fuel Scoop page, or how to use an AFM Module)

Elite Pilot's Federation controlled system. Also referred to as the "Founder's System". Only accessible by kickstarter backers and those who have reached "elite" within the Pilot's Federation.

Systems that are not part of an in-game event and are not marked as an important system can still be documented here on the wiki. A large amount of pages will be created which will be very difficult to keep up to date. Please contribute!
